You can't buy a haft that nice for $20 hereabouts.Not that I NEED more hammers, but I couldn't resist this - particularly when Menard's had them @ $16.84 (before the 11% rebate). 24 Oz. Made in USA.
Felco 8 pruning shears. I'd been looking for a good pair of pruning shears for a long time, and I think these are the best. I also got a set of precision blades (nothing fancy, but good enough for me).
Ditto on the Felcos … SIMPLY THE BEST!! Example - I was playing golf the other day and the woman who maintains the garden areas by the tees was cleaning up one of the beds …
Mine are approaching fifty. I bought them in the early '80s. Felco #7s, now on the third set of blades.
Nice, what took you so long?
You're making me hungry... good thing I have some carne asada burritos from the local Mexican place in the fridge....Gave another try at tortillas, not bad, outside skirt steak and rice and beans,
sorry no new tools used, twas good.
Pretty much the same minus having two headlamps. I have the Fenix HL-55 and recently got a new batch of 18650's. I would just swap batteries when they got low (I have two stand alone chargers). I can't complain. The old HL-55 still working like new. I've had to replace the head band four times.
What's the reason you want to cut open oil filters?Delivered Saturday from Amazon. For cutting open used oil filter. " Minlen Oil Filter Cutting Tool" $16.90 on Amazon. Having trouble posting Amazon pages showing products.
I posted more about my oil filter failure in detail over in the "Hot Deals--- Retail Amazon " section.
To see if any of the engine is in there?
Whenever I've seen it done, they've been looking for metal shavings which would agree entirely with what you're saying.
Motorhead friends would cut them open with various nasty blades--don't want to introduce any shavings--to monitor engine health, especially during break-in and hard track use. A proper can opener like that makes very good sense, and prevents blood contamination during the inspection.
I wanted to see what (if anything) abnormal was caught by the filter and check for filter integrity (damage). As mentioned in my post, the details are in my post over in the "Hot Deals Forum--- Amazon Retail ....." . If you're really curious there's a zillion youtube videos of new and used filters dissected.
I bought the Felco 7 a few days ago and I kinda regret it. It's the one with the rotating handle which is a great concept, but it freely rotates 180 degrees with practically 0 friction. I expected about a 90 degree rotation with some spring pulling it back to its initial position (and creating a bit of resistance), but nope... even with gloves on it's hard to hold it.Felco 8 pruning shears.

Aside from checking for metal bits, it allows me to separate the parts to recycle the metal, and squeeze the oil out of the filter membrane.
Give it some time. Once you get used to it, you'll love it. It really takes a LOT of stress off you wrist over a long day of tree pruning. I grab mine from the holster hundreds of times a day when pruning and never have to think about it.
Another set of test leads and some other stuff.
i picked up that SO little straight on striking pry bar on a whim a while back and have found so may uses for it that it stays on my roll cart. hope you like itSnap-on Father's Day "Deals"
The stubby extensions are for my ratcheting screwdriver.
The little red pry bars are for whoever ends up being selected as my secret Santa recipient this year, or at least that was my intention.
Not trying to be a killjoy but those are assembled in the USA from foreign and domestic components. Thus why they don't say Made in USA anywhere. It still appears to be a well made hammer, but I've been concerned for some time about the direction Estwing is going.Not that I NEED more hammers, but I couldn't resist this - particularly when Menard's had them @ $16.84 (before the 11% rebate). 24 Oz.

Thank you
That one seems to work a lot better. If I do those motions it's likely to totally slip out of my hand. I checked out 2 videos made by some Russian guy, one is about disassembly/repair. The ARS has no spring either, but it somehow seems to have more resistance. My Felco rotates so freely that gravity will rotate it if I gently swing it around. Maybe I should disassemble it and add some thick grease or something.
